We are proud to know that our
friend, Prof. .. l.. HenniR, is coming
TO the front splendidly in Portland as an
artist of local reuown. While residing
in Port Townsend, and employed in Civ
ing musical instruction, Prof. Hennig
began work rs an artist several OF his
| pictures evincing natural talent tn an
unusual degree. One, large painting
of DuDgeness, is owned by the editor q;
this paper, and is priced among his
houshold ornaments. Since going to
Portland Mr.. Hennig has been persuing
his favorlte pastime, and some of his
productions have graced the Mechanics
| fair in that city. This year he wa:
awarded n silver medal. while other To-
cal artists, professionals in Portland did
| not even succeed in securing diploma.
One Of Mr.. Hennig's pictures, entitled
"Sweet Rest" attracted ii great deal of
attention, and received unstinted praise.
| The OreyOnidn said: 40. f. Heunig is
one of the many artists who show their
number OF crayou, "Sweet Rest" by
this artist, that deserves the attention
bestowed upon it. His portraits of Gov

CanaerieS Closed

Mr.. Tune, principal owner Of the can
merry at Mukilteo, in conversation with a
PoSt-Inteiigencer reporter said:
"GOu may state that the salmon can
! neries On Puget Sound have closed
| for the season. In ny last talk with
| yoT. | stated that We would try the ex-
pertinent Of packing fall salmon. We
| did try, but We found the fish absolute
ly unfit for food, AMI we gave it up as a
| bad job. The salmon run on Puget
| SOUND this season has been almost Il
/ failure, and none of us put up a quarter
OF what We expected, for the reason that
We could not get the fish We are not
discouraged, however. but are here to
| stay. There were five canneries in op-
Grafton on the Sound this year. Myers
was ready ahead of US and let off with a
| pack of 1000 cases; the canDery at Five
Mile Rock followed with 2400 cases; we
came next with about 230O cases, and
Samish comes last with only 400 cases.
| have heard no report from Tacoma,
| but the pack there was light. All the
fishermen on the sound with whom 1
| have talked expect big run next sea
SOD, but the truth Is they can tell moth
ing about it. l remember year ago
when 1 first made up my mind to come
! to the Sound, l talked with fishermen
and they SAID this was the season for the
big run. Prices are good this year, and
if We had been able to get the fish we
could all have made some money out of
the business, but that's Just the way it
goes. When fish are plenty the pIice is
low, aud when they are scarce the price
is high. Most of us made a mistake by
not being ready for the first run this sea-
SOD, which came week or two earlier
than was expected. The Five Mile Rock
canncry had the misfortune of being
burned out just as they were ready to do
business or they would have made n
much better showing"
